Peter St. John

Researcher III-Chemical Engineering

Education

Peter St. John received his B.S. in chemical engineering from Tufts University in
2010, followed by his Ph.D. in chemical engineering from the University of California
at Santa Barbara in 2015. During his Ph.D., St. John applied techniques from systems
biology and dynamic systems to understand the gene regulatory networks underlying
mammalian circadian rhythms.

During his postdoctoral position, he used techniques from metabolic modeling for microbial
strain design to optimize the production of value-added chemicals from lignin using
Pseudomonas putida.
